Kino Lounge in Kettering

Popped in for a late lunch. You order at the bar and pay as you go. There is a water station where you help yourself to water. Bang bang chicken which comes with noodles. Nice but the breaded chicken was a bit overcooked and the dish a bit dry. Buda bowl was delicious. Lots of seating but also a few reserved tables and the upstairs was reserved for a group booking so perhaps worth booking to avoid disappointment. Will go again when next in the area.

First time in this place and will be going back. Great menu, service and excellent food. Building is the old Corn exchange/Hippodrome cinema. Good to see different age groups all enjoying the place. Friendly staff. Really impressed.

Lush food and don't break the bank. So far I have enjoyed the mac n cheese and the brisket chilli. Breakfast is most enjoyable

It's always a nice place to visit, no matter the time of day. The food is great and the drinks are lovely. I always go for the Banoffee Biscoff milkshake.

Just a coffee stop but still good service.

A go-to place for breakfast or a casual meal out. Really nice ambience. Love the quirkiness and the decor. Excellent vegan menu

Food is excellent and friendly staff

Fantastic food and staff are always accommodating

Everything's good, the music is a little bit too loud, but it's alright. The food is really good.

Quality and service has gone down recently. Appearance of some staff leaves alot to be desired.

Service was quite rude - both servers seemed to have an issue with me wanting my very bland drink to be moved to take away cup and for it to be sweetened. Also I found the lack of waitress uniform very unprofessional. I don’t appreciate waiters making faces and whispering among themselves after a customer makes a polite request. My cake slice was also very average. Also the waitresses did not know the menu very well when I asked what was halal and implied that we had mixed up the table number when we ordered.

service could have been a LOT better , not very friendly and didn’t know the menu too well. when we asked for changes to a drink the two servers were whispering amongst themselves and making faces. staff aren’t even dressed in proper uniforms. brought our order to the wrong table and said that we put the wrong table number on our online order (we didn’t) drink was okay, cake was quite dry.

Had a great brunch here, food was excellent in taste and presentation. Good wheelchair access. And very tasty vegan options.

Lovely friendly ladies who served us. Great atmosphere and always so nice to go there. Not great is the tuna melt didn't come with the pickled gherkins or rocket as stated on the menu, so it made it an overpriced toastie at £7.50. Carrot cake wasn't available today, which was a shame. Tea is served in a cute miniature tea pot, and the cappuccino was nice.

Had tea and cake. Cake was still and bit frozen, hence it was tasteless.

Ordered a massive takeaway order yesterday for a film crew and everything went so smoothly. The food was excellent, well packaged and labelled. The staff were so helpful getting everything organised. Shout out to Alex for getting everything sorted on the day!!!

We were working on a film shoot in Kettering this week. We went for dinner at Kino on Tuesday evening . The staff were super helpful and confident . The food was great . Kino also did the catering for the next day on location . Again the food was great and the staff went above and beyond and were nice to my team (which makes me happy). They supplied us with a massive takeaway order at the same time as having a full lunch time restaurant . If I am ever in Kettering again I will be eating at Kino.

Staff were very friendly and polite. I ordered the buttermilk chicken and was disappointed by how tough it was to cut. I only ate half of it because it was clearly overlooked. Everyone else i dined with enjoyed their food so it may have just been my dish. The dessert was lovely.

Always a pleasure to be there 🙂nice staff and really good food 👍🏻

Nice food and great customer service.

Very quirky surroundings and good food. The person who greeted us was rather abrupt but apart from that, a good experience

Not really my thing at all. Place looked shabby, food was mediocre and all the staff did was being the food to your table as you have to order (and pay in advance) via an app. I don't intend to go back. Sorry!

Food was tasty and well presented, although a little cold. Music was a little too loud for my taste at first.

We enjoyed our lunch at Kino Lounge. My only slight criticism is that we asked for extra spicy, which amounted to a few extra chopped chillies being thrown on the top. It would’ve been nicer if these had been cooked into the food. Service was very good though and plenty of options on the menu.

Only popped in for a quick drink...looked a nice place tho.

Just popped in for a wine whilst waiting for train

Stunning building, really kind staff, lovely vibe. Food is fresh, original, and really tasty.

Kino Lounge provides a stylish and comfortable ambiance ideal for a night out. The cocktails are creative and excellent, and the service is kind and responsive. The atmosphere is elegant but relaxing, making it ideal for both casual and formal occasions. The only negative is that it can get packed on weekends, therefore reservations are advised. Overall, a terrific spot to relax and have a nice time!

Visited The Kino Lounge for a Sunday brunch with family. I am a very regular visitor to various Lounge restaurants throughout the country. Both of our breakfast were perfectly cooked. The customer service received was excellent. I love the bare industrial look of the interior with the eclectic mix of photos and paintings. The meals are also excellent value for money.

It's been a while but still good thanks

For such a big menu, the food is surprisingly good. The Aubergine flatbread is great!

A beautiful Lounge situated in an old cinema. The staff were diligent regarding food allergies, so I felt comfortable to eat from the Gluten free menu. I had the all-day GF Veggie breakfast minus the mushrooms. The order was brought to the table very quickly and everything was lovely.

Very good breakfast, reasonably priced, imo, I enquired as to what the building had been previously, as it had a ornate feel and architecture, like a church, however I was told it had been a cinema, however, it had an unfinished look with bare, unpainted walls, with patchy missing plaster exposing dusty brickwork. I couldn't work out which if any look they were going for, as apart the decor/lighting looked expensive .

Amazing, very unusual decor which strangely works very well.. I didn't eat here, just had a couple of drinks but I was very impressed.. staff were friendly and attentive.. I sat outside on the front patio as it was a warm night.. would definitely visit again

First time here, but amazed that the gluten free menu has plenty on it like normal menu

Lovely setting, great staff, food amazing especially gluten free...large menu and lots of allergy/intolerance knowledge

I always like eating here. Recommend the pulled brisket beef chilli - superb

Only popped in for coffee, table service was great

Jasmine and Emily were the 2 lovely ladies that served me yesterday with my son and best friend! Honestly they are such an asset they were amazing! Services with a smile it lifted my mood alot! Food was amazing!!!! Watermelon ice tea was perfect! Well done to the 2 ladies that served me! You made my day a little less grey! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great find for brunch in Kettering town centre. Extensive and well priced menu for all. We had the Miami Brunch and Lounge Breakfast and both were excellent. Great portions and fantastic quality of ingredients. We used the QR code service to order and it was very quick and efficient. The staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of space and plenty of tables when it got a little busier. Dog friendly too. Really cool and quirky place for a laid back meal and drinks. Definitely be back to try more.

Warm service, good food and quirky decor. Recommend the fish finger sandwich!

Really like this place.. but my curry was cold in the middle. Remedied by a good blast in microwave Cant fault the staff

Great servoce, nice breakfast, nice place, different, good value. Boom!

Portion was very small. Mostly just sauce and one spoonful of noodles :(

Great cocktails! A little expecive

Great atmosphere and ambience. Toilet facilities are not good for older people. One sit down and 2 stand-ups for men. Woman's upstairs. One baby change down stairs. Not good for size of the place. O stars for toilets. J

Good food, good coffee, efficient service, fair prices, free WiFi (with sign-up).

What a wonderful place. Bit noisy but in a good way. It's more of a buzz, perhaps. Extensive menu, and great fi building a meal if you like to share your food.

Paid nearly £14 for a ‘Nasi Goreng’ which had about 4 prawns and no chicken. The portion was very small for the price and very oily. I was hungry and had waited so ate it but have to say I was extremely disappointed.

Went to the Kino Lounge because Cafe Bloc was closed. We both ordered a breakfast and before we knew it, it arrived at the table. Started to tuck in and it was luke warm at the best. The only thing that was hot was the sausage. Once they came around to ask us if it was OK (as we couldn't get anyone's attention) I told them it wasn't very warm. She did ask if I wanted it swapping for a new plate but by the time I would have got it back hubby would have finished and I would have been eating on my own. They offered puddings but really didn't fancy eating pudding at 10am. Probably will be the last time we have breakfast there, such a shame

Food was good, a wide choice for a cafe. Baby friendly and pet friendly.

Delicious food, reasonably priced and friendly service. Dog friendly too!!

Kino lounge is one of my favourite place for meals and drinks when Im planning to go out with my family or friends. Delicious food and great cocktails. The music and the atmosphere is just amazing.

Can get cheeper elsewhere but this is my favourite treat.

The place is very good for a chat but the drinks are very expensive. I ordered a pineapple and coconut punch that was £6.50. The quantity was regular.

Beautiful building, friendly staff, the menu appears to be varied. Be nice to have some actual drink in your overflowing glass of ice though. Not worth the price.

There are many "Lounges", they are all very good, the Kino is fantastic the five star rating isn't good enough for it. I give it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kind of found this place by accident on the way to West Lodge Farm with the family. Super friendly staff, a welcoming feel upon entry and the food was amazing! Such a selection available to suit all dietary requirements:) We live 1hour away but will definitely be back. Price was good, portion sizes also very good. Like I said, a MUST visit!

Very friendly and welcoming staff, and the food has always been great every visit :)

Perfect for an antisocial person, great food, dog friendly and most importantly you can order and pay on the app which means you don't have to speak with anyone if you don't want. Great looking place, plenty of space too

Lovely atmosphere and great food!

Another one of the Lounges that I have visited. They always have great decor. Ordered mine separately from the web as I am gluten and dairy intolerant. Arrived within 20 mins, all hot and looking great. There seems to be less fries..... ;-). apart from that the food was great!

Without a doubt, the best burger we have ever had and the streaky bacon on top was unbelievable. The taste was gorgeous. Service and atmosphere were excellent, and we can't wait to go back.

I went with a friend as a treat

Asked for a breakfast muffin with a vegetarian sausage instead of a Cumberland sausage they charged me an additional five pound when I asked why they said vegetarian sausage is more expensive that may be but not 5 pound more expensive. Then they served it just warm not hot . The building itself is delightful and the coffee is nice but don’t bother to eat here

Came here for a "date night" with my partner. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was great. We will definitely be coming back for more date nights!! We loved the décor, and it was a very relaxed and friendly environment, although I imagine it can also get lively on the weekends.

I been here several times most of the time the meals are quite good. Had a full breakfast which i also have had before and it was not the best but thought i would try it again hoping it would be better but no not only was it quite small for the price but the quality was poor. The sausages were hard and just tasteless and bland, the mushrooms were dry and tasteless and grey looking no oil or buttered flavour. Fried egg was tiny hardly any yoke and the beans not even 2 spoonfuls the only thing that tasted alright was the hashbrowns. Also their buttered teacakes were very hard like they were stale not like any other tea cakes i have ever had before. I would never have their breakfast again just poor quality food and tasteless.

I visit Kettering fairy regularly and usually fit in a visit to The Kino . The food is delicious , plenty of choice , the general vibe and atmosphere is good. The decor is amazing, really making the most of a spacious historic building . A good drinks menu with interesting choices , both alcoholic and non. Service is occasionally a little haphazard when busy , but always polite and friendly .

Food was really nice staff were very freindly and they don't judge. I have a visible disability but was treated like any other customer. I have been to a couple of places and just get stared at. Will be coming back

Lovely place, with a tasty menu and good service.

Kino Lounge is always a great experience with a warm welcome and dogs are allowed and have a water bowl and biscuit tin to dip into. The food menu is very adventurous and delicious. We can definitely recommend it and our pooch is very comfortable snoozing while we eat and relax. Five stars well deserved.

Very loud especially when the dog barks it's dog friendly which is okay if you like dogs, couldn't fault the food would be happy to go back again in the future

The beyond cheese burger is absolutely fantastic.. it's way better than any meat burger in my opinion!

A great meeting place in Kettering - a beautiful church like building which houses a cafe / restaurant. Service is great as is the food. This place is definitely recommended for a visit, especially if you are going for a show locally or just visiting the beautiful church next door.

Even though it was very busy due to it being Mother’s Day, there is no excuse for Luke warm coffee and food.The coffees were exchanged for hot ones, but the food took ages to arrive and was not hot. I’m afraid for what is charged for food and coffee, I would not recommend this place or use it again. Paying nearly £100 for the breakfast and receiving that standard does not sit very well. Because you pay before getting your food, it is impossible to get a refund for cold food.

We had lunch here and I ordered the chicken with truffle and parmesan which was simply delicious. This dish was so full of flavour, and very filling that I can't wait to go back and have it all over again! The staff were friendly and the eatery is based in an old listed building which gives it great character and atmosphere.

If you want hot food go somewhere else! Nice coffee & good atmosphere but cannot cook hot food simple as that

Been to a few kino lounges over the years mainly for lunches which were ok. Lots of food choices though and nothing seems fresh. Just had dinner and had to leave hungry. Had lamb shawarma but not much lamb and all sauce. Disappointed and won’t be going back unless for a small bite. Where’s the healthy food and home cooked.

Really enjoyed brunch there with our granddaughter.

Awful burnt tough chicken couldn’t eat it when eventually we could see a staff member to raise our issue she was very good to deal with the issue and we were offered cake or a drink not great service really wasn’t even busy very disappointing

Great food and atmosphere... Staff served drinks in warm glasses recently out the dishwasher and tried to tell me they were room temperature 🤒. Would go again but cold glasses please and no b/s 😎😎

Tapas Tuesday Been coming for nearly 2 years and always an issue with Tapas Tuesday. You order your food and your wine. You then order an extra drink which is incorporated into the Tapas deal and a inflated cost. Questioned this with the lady in charge and we did get recompense but this happens every time we go in. When we want to speak to a manager no one available and was given an email of a manager. Can't even speak to anymore. Very disappointed. Don't really feel valued and no one really in a position to sort anything out

Great place to meet up with friends and for breakfast. We all had big breakfasts, which were lovely, but the beans, eggs and mushrooms could have done with being a bit hotter. Always friendly staff. Thank you

Had Dinner with some work colleagues. Atmosphere was good and it was in a beautiful building. Unfortunately my food was cold when arrived. But because the rest was nice 3*. Otherwise would be lower. We were a group of 14 people. We had pre order the food too. No excuse to be cold.

Excellent food and staff. It was quick and delicious.

Lovely food and price. Staff were friendly and the pub was classy loking

Visited for breakfast. Good choices.

Popped in for a meal on a quiet Tuesday evening as we had heard this was a decent place. The food was good and service also good. For us older folk, ordering via our smartphones was a bit of a challenge but you can order at the bar. Would be better though if orders could be taken at the table. Music volume was quite high which made conversation a bit tricky but this is probably an age thing! Overall, not bad and we will try it again.

Somewhere in Kettering with a different atmosphere - great place to meet friends.

First time visiting here, was pleasantly surprised with the food and would have given 5 stars for service except black pudding missing off both breakfast and toast was requested DRY and had loads of butter. The place is nostalgic and i could live there in this amazing surroundings. I will be going back and i still would highly recommend it.

Been coming here whenever I can since I moved, the food is always delicious and the hospitality of the staff is always great and inviting

Really nice breakfast with good quality sausages

Birthday dinner in a beautiful decor 😍 with delicious food 😋 and great customer service 😊. Most definitely 💯 recommend it to anyone at any time.

Great staff fast service great food thank you all

We had a function of over 30 people. Kino longe were very helpful throughout the booking. On the night all the tables were reserved. Every person commented on how nice thier food was and all the meals came out in a good time. Lovely helpful staff. Thank you so much for looking after us all so well. I highly recommend the Kino Lounge

Our first time at Kino Lounge we were in a group of 36 in the upstairs lounge. Very impressed with the decor and all the different areas and the buzzing atmosphere. All our meals were served together and everyone was happy with their choices. Customer service was excellent, very organised. Really enjoyed the evening. Well done to all the staff and it made our get together very personal and enjoyable 🌈💛🌻

Always enjoy going there for its food, service and relaxed atmosphere 😊 went there to have a long overdue catch up with an old friend and his wife. Had a coconut milk cappuccino and bacon 🥓 sarnie 😋 then had the churros 😋

Really relaxing and enjoyable, food tasty and great atmosphere

Had one of my first dates here with my partner. We haven’t stopped coming back as we love the menu, the staff are very helpful and sweet, and we adore the architecture and atmosphere.

Early start, fantastic food with lots of taste. Never gone wrong here.
